Zhou Shuo stretched out his hand, and the colleague next to him quickly handed a copy of the text into his hand.

He held this document and said loudly: "This is the shareholding structure of Fanhan Group, in which the main shareholder Zhou Shuo is also me. Pan Han Group is an independent, employee-owned, privately held company. With the exception of me, most of the shareholders are employees of the company. But this composition is not the whole story, and there are also Japanese people among our shareholders, such as Mr. Masayoshi Son, the president of Japan's SoftBank Group. There are also the famous KPN telecommunications company in the Netherlands, TPV Group in the treasure island area, Zlink and Six Ears Investment Fund in the United States, as well as the famous Microsoft and Netscape companies ......"

Zhou Shuo had long known that the Americans would make trouble in this regard, and of course the information was prepared without leakage. A series of previously relatively independent joint ventures have now become part of the Pan-Han Group.

For example, the R&D center established as a joint venture with Telfort in the Netherlands was originally just a means to meet its needs to develop local applications. However, after Telfort was acquired by KPN, the cooperation between the two parties deepened, and KPN invested more capital and R&D strength in this R&D center.

The investment of both parties has gradually expanded, and the result is that when Fanhan Group incorporated the R&D center into its own equity system, the amount of shares it occupies is really considerable.

In a similar situation, Microsoft and Netscape have also temporarily "borrowed" their shares in Six Ears Software. The capital, which was originally just a subsidiary or even just an affiliated enterprise, became a stake in the Pan Han Group after some concealment. From this point of view, Pan Han Group is really a bit of a multinational company.

"We do not own any shares in the Chinese government, and we have never accepted the leadership of the Chinese military. Talking about what is Beiqi Control? If a company in any country is widely used because of its products, it is possible that it will be controlled by that country. Then we are afraid that we will have to worry about whether Ericsson is being sued by Denmark, and we need to worry about whether Alcatel is being sued by France. Or has Intel been sued by the U.S. government? ”

"We can assure you that the Chinese government has not influenced investment decisions, profit distribution, and the placement of military staff in the day-to-day operations of Pan Han Group. The Chinese government and military have no ownership interest in the Pan Han Group, and of course it is impossible for them to be under its direction. We only produce products that comply with civil communication standards. It is not engaged in the production of products for military purposes. ”

"As mentioned above, although the Panhan Group's business involves the Chinese government, the significant funds are raised by itself through guò ESOPs and targeted financing. That is to say, the replenishment of the operating capital and commercial bank loans of the Pan Han Group are determined according to the market environment, and do not rely on any administrative force. We are Pan Han Group. There can be no doubt that it is an independent business organization. ”

Zhou Shuo looked around at the expressions of these committee members on the stage, and finally said strongly.

"If the members of the committee have conclusive evidence that Panhan has a project to cooperate with the Chinese military, then please come up with it. Otherwise, I am afraid that it will not be able to convince the public just by chasing after the wind and catching shadows. ”

"As for the specific evidence, it will need to be presented after the committee has carried out a security assessment to protect our informants."

"However, Pan Han Group may provide internal operational information to the Investigative Committee to cooperate with an investigation into whether it poses a security threat to the U.S. telecommunications industry. If the internal operating information confirms that it did not use unsafe technology, we can make a judgment of innocence. ”

Zhou Shuo was stunned for a moment. Looking at the chairman in disbelief, he opened his mouth and asked in surprise: "In other words, the committee adopted a presumption of guilt against the Panhan Group?" We can't prove our innocence. Is it guilty? ”

The chairman coughed dryly and said embarrassedly: "Ahem, we now have evidence in our hands that is unfavorable to the Panhan Group. ”

"Then take it out!"

"To protect the informant. We can't make the evidence public......"

"Then how do I know how much your evidence is valid?"

"We have reason to believe that. The technology used by Pan Han Group infringes Cisco's patent rights. The chairman of the committee changed his words and provoked another topic. "Cisco is the pioneer of Internet network equipment, but the technology used by Pan Han Group has never been authorized by it. Isn't this alone enough to show that Pan Han Group is accustomed to engaging in illegal behavior, and it is not impossible to deliberately leave a backdoor in the system! ”

"We're infringing on Cisco's technology patents?" Zhou Shuo was stunned for a moment, and then said proudly: "Fanhan Group has long published the source code of its network equipment, and in the competition in the world market, our products of Fanhan Group have been successful with excellent performance. In short, Cisco may have started early, but we are the ones who are ahead. ”

"Pan Han Group's network products are at least ten years ahead of Cisco, and if we really infringe Cisco's patents, then we should ask them to file a lawsuit in any court in the world. Again, if there is any evidence, Cisco is welcome to come up with it and go to court with us. But there's one thing I want to make first—"

Zhou Shuo smiled confidently: "Actually, it's not a new thing, but a recognized common sense in the network equipment industry." That's our Panhan Group's network equipment, and the same functional program is only one-tenth the size of Cisco. In other words, if there are 10 million lines of program for Cisco network equipment, we only need 1 million lines to complete. ”

"In the face of such a gap, I really don't know why Cisco has the face to think that we are infringing on their patented technology."

Zhou Shuo sneered in his heart, many of the programs of his own network equipment were developed by him under his own command. Not to mention the technical level of Cisco in 2001, even Cisco in 2014 does not dare to say that it is more advanced than his set of programs in terms of technology. The gap of ten years has caused the boss of network equipment to be in an embarrassing situation.

His step-by-step interrogation made the chairman of the committee look a little embarrassed, and from the fact that he insisted on refusing to disclose the evidence and temporarily changed the topic, Zhou Shuo had already felt their pulse. It is by no means that there are internal ghosts within the Pan Han Group or in the project, but also a far-fetched idea after some Americans get the clues.

went to this thorn in the heart, and the counterattack was of course extremely sharp.

At that moment, a piece of printer paper came out of the hand of one of the committee members and passed it to the chairman. He was forced into a corner by Zhou Shuo at this time, and when he got this piece of paper, he actually breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly became enlightened.

"The Pan Han Group claims that its decision-making has not been influenced by the Chinese government, so I have a piece of information here to show why you have China in your company. Common. Give birth. Party of the Party. Group. Weave? ”

The chairman of the committee had bright eyes, and asked Zhou Shuo condescendingly: "Why does Fanhan Group, as a private enterprise, have a party committee organization?" How many members do you have? Are you involved in the company's decision-making? ”

Zhou Shuo was silent, which made the chairman think that he had grasped the death hole of the Panhan Group, and laughed even more proudly. He leaned back in his chair and sneered.

"As we all know, China's persistence. Politics. Party. Be. Middle. Country. Common. Give birth. The party and all party committees and organizations are subject to the medium. Common. Party. Middle. The leadership of the central government, while the middle. The CCP is also the leading party of the Chinese government, can you still say that the Pan Han Group is not manipulated by the Chinese government? ”

Zhou Shuo sighed, shook his head and said: "This is because the chairman of the committee does not understand China's national conditions, and China's company law stipulates that any enterprise with more than three party members must set up a party committee. Not only Fanhan Group, but also Wal-Mart, Microsoft, IBM and other enterprises are also organized by party committees. However, the party committees in these enterprises are mainly engaged in providing employee care and urging employees to abide by professional ethics, and never participate in enterprise management and decision-making. ”

The chairman of the committee said in a subtle way: "They are China's foreign-funded enterprises, and the leadership of the enterprises are all Americans, so of course the party committee organization cannot play its role." But you are a Chinese enterprise, and it is difficult to say whether the party committee is like a foreign-funded enterprise. ”

"There are thousands of private enterprises in China that have set up party committees, and there has never been a case of party organizations interfering in the operation of enterprises......

"We don't think China has a mature and fair grievance system, and maybe that has happened, but what about business owners who can't assert their rights, or don't dare to assert their rights at all?"

……

There's an old Chinese saying that you can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep unless you set fire to their house.

Anyway, Zhou Shuo was not an Englishman in the 18th century, so it was definitely impossible to set a fire to the US Capitol. So what can you do in the face of the intelligence committee that insists on pretending to be stupid.

The chairman of the committee grasped the fact that the Panhan Group has a party committee organization, and this time he didn't care how Zhou Shuo defended it, and he pretended to be stupid and wanted to tie it up with the Chinese government.

As a Chinese company, it is impossible for Zhou Shuo to openly violate the company law and dissolve the party committee organization in the company. Therefore, when one sin after another was thrown away, he fell into a state where he was speechless.

Dangdang -

The chairman of the committee once again rang the gavel in his hand, and looked playfully at Zhou Shuo, who was still fighting in the beast below, and said: "Although the Pan Han Group is a private company, it has a lot of contact with the Chinese government in the process of its operation, and I am afraid that it has not been able to meet the review of security concerns in the United States." ”

"In the course of its investigation, the Commission received testimony from industry experts and current and former employees of Panhan, Inc., that Panhanne may have violated U.S. law. In response to these allegations, the House Intelligence Committee argued that it was a company that did not follow U.S. law and international business standards. Allegations of possible violations of U.S. law will be referred to justice in accordance with the law. (To be continued......)
